USAG’s Li Li Leung will step down
I’m surprised Li Li wouldn’t stay through Olympics 2028.
USA Gymnastics CEO Li Li Leung will leave her role at the end of the year after a six-year run in which she led the NGB out of crisis and rebuilt the organization. Her departure comes after a drastic turnaround for the national governing body, which she has led since March 2019 and took over following one of the worst sexual abuse crises in sport. …
“I hope to be able to take some time off and figure out what is next, but that hasn’t been what’s the focus for me,” she said. “It’s basically making sure that this organization is in place to be able to hand off in a great situation.”

new Jade Carey interview
… after having the college season and just having so much fun and only focusing on that, I didn’t wanna do this summer because I wanted to end on just being able to focus on college gymnastics and take a break,” said Carey of her decision not to compete in elite gymnastics this year.
“I knew that if 2028 was something that I wanted to go for, maybe taking 2025 off would just help my body and mind relax a little more.”
Carey isn’t ready to jump fully aboard the 2028 train, but she’s not ruling anything out at this point – even a run at a third Olympic Games. …
For now, it’s time for a break – the first in nearly five years, says Carey.
